A feeling of sadness was caus
ed here by the recent passing of
Linda Taylor. Little Linda, as
'she w'as known among friends
jand playmates, took a keen in
terest in Sunday scnool worK
and before her illness was very
active with the singing and les
son recitals. We join with other
neighbors in extending sym
pathy to those who will miss her
most.
Mr. and Mrs. James Cornutt,
and Mrs. Cornutt's mother.'Mrs.
Emma Houston of Kanes creek,

didn't raise last year.
Mr. and Mrs. G. O. Nelson and
daughter, Jean, recently of the

Nelson is an employee of the

Mr. and Mrs. Moore Hamilton

here with relatives Saturday.
They brought along some three
or four dozen pictures of ' son

Several from here attended
the funeral of Mrs. Cloa McDon
ough held recently in Medford.
She was a long time resident of
Sams Valley and well known
here. She was known as a devo
ted wife and mother, and a loy
al worker for the welfare of
her community and country. As
member of the Sams Valley
Grange she was a tireless work
er for the good of the order and
Grange policies. To know her
was to be her friend, and this
tribute given to the memory of
a former State Grange chaplain
is appropriate here.
A life of kindly deeds, gener
ous acts, a belief in the predom

ness, and an optimistic outlook
on life in general, inevitably
surrounds one with many
friends.

Southwest today in the wake
of a severe storm that pelted
Texas with hail, snow and tor
nadic winds.
The storm ranged through
Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas,

quarter to one-half inch of rain
Wednesday night and early to
day. Wintry weather lingered in
the northeast with heavy snow
blanketing portions of Rhode
Island. Connecticut and Massa
chusetts.
Six inches of snow piled up
in Providence, R.I., and Boston.

The freak weather was capped
by a snow storm in northern

east as the south Atlantic Coast
states with early morning tem
peratures in the 30s at Atlana,

Inflation Said
Greatest Danger
Miami Beach, Fla. (U.P.) For
mer President Hoover said Wed
nesday night the greatest dan
ger to the nation at this time
is inflation.
The 82-year-old statesman said
taxpayers are "groaning" over
government spending. Pressure
groups must be made to lay off
Congress so the government can
reduce its huge money outlay,
he said.
Mr. Hoover, here for a three
week rest and some fishing in
the Florida Keys, said, "The
purchasing power of the dollar
is down every month."'
If the public will take some
of the "special interest groups'
pressures off Congress," he
said, then the nation's lawmak
ers might "have a better chance
to reduce the spending program.
The former President also
called for congressional approv
al of recommendation of the
non-partisan Hoover Commission
for streamlining and moderniz
ing government operations. Mr.
Hoover said the recommenda
tions would save billions of
dollars.
